How do I convert PDF pages to lossless PNG images?
To convert a PDF to PNG, upload it to FixDoks's PDF to PNG tool, choose all pages or select specific ones, set a resolution from 72 to 300 DPI, then click Convert to PNG. Each page is rendered as a lossless image with sharp text and lines, all inside your browser, and several pages download together as a ZIP.

How to use PDF to PNG

Why choose PNG for PDF pages?
PNG is a lossless image format, meaning nothing is thrown away when the page is saved as PNG, unlike JPG which discards some detail to shrink the file. That makes PNG the better choice when a PDF page contains text, line diagrams, tables or anything with sharp edges, where JPG compression can introduce a faint fuzziness around fine details.
Choosing pages
Convert the whole document at once with All pages, or narrow it down to just the pages you need by tapping thumbnails or typing a range. This is useful when you only need a diagram from page 4 of a manual as a standalone image, rather than every page of the document.
Picking a resolution
DPI (dots per inch) sets how many pixels make up each inch of the rendered page.
| DPI | Good for |
|---|---|
| 72 | Quick screen previews, smallest file size |
| 96 | Embedding in a webpage or document |
| 150 | Sharing where some detail matters, like a diagram or chart |
| 300 | Printing, or zooming into small text and fine lines |
Because PNG has no separate quality slider the way JPG does, DPI is the only setting that affects both sharpness and file size here. Since PNG doesn't compress away detail, a PNG at a given DPI will usually be a larger file than a JPG at the same DPI, especially for pages with lots of fine text or complex diagrams.
When JPG makes more sense
If your PDF pages are mostly photos or have lots of colour gradients, PNG's lossless approach means a much bigger file for not much visible benefit. PDF to JPG will give you a smaller file that still looks good for that kind of content.
Typical uses
- Pulling a diagram or chart out of a report to paste into a slide deck without any blur.
- Turning a scanned form's page into an image for a website that needs a PNG upload.
- Saving a page of dense text as an image where legibility matters more than file size.
Downloads
A single page converts to one PNG you can download directly. Multiple pages are bundled into a ZIP, with names like "report-page-1.png", making it easy to match each file back to its page number.
Common problems
- Files are larger than expected. This is normal for PNG, since it doesn't compress away detail the way JPG does. Lower the DPI, or switch to PDF to JPG if file size matters more than being lossless.
- PDF needs a password. This is a read-only conversion, so if the file is protected you'll simply be prompted for the password, no separate unlock step needed.
- Only need a few pages. Tap thumbnails or type a range instead of converting the whole document, which is also faster.
